Ingredients

Candied pecans:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup raw pecans

Maple-balsamic dressing:

1 small shallot, finely diced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons maple syrup
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head endive, separated leaves
2 hearts frisee, hand torn
1 large radicchio, torn leaves
1 red pear, sliced
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Directions

To make the candied pecans, set a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the butter and sugar and once it has melted toss in the pecans and continue to toss to coat and cook evenly, about 1 minute. Transfer to a sheet tray lined with waxed paper (use 2 forks to separate pecans) while you prepare the salad.

Make the dressing by combining the chopped shallot, Dijon and balsamic vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while you whisk to emulsify. Add the maple syrup and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Assemble salad by tossing greens and pear slices in a large mixing bowl with maple-balsamic dressing. Top with shaved Parmesan and candied pecans.

Yum!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Love this salad! I make it with Spring Mix & Baby Spinach, add green apple slices and dried cranberries ~ it's delicious! So,... I guess it's not completely this salad!Read more

How Many Mistakes can they Make - ditto
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I agree with Nicki - incredible mistakes on this recipe and many others, not just Tyler but Bobby and everyone. Is FN blind... or just don't care about us. I also copy from the TV, ( I have DVR) and put it on Word - never, ever, ever trust the recipe column. Here are the mistakes, incase you are counting He used 1/4 c. maple syrup - recipe says 2 tsp He used 1/4 c balsamic vinegar - recipe says 2 tsp He used 1-1/2 cups ( 3 to 1 ratio as he mentioned) recipe-1/4C He did NOT use a shallot - recipe says one shallot He used 2 Rd. TBS dijon - recipe says 1 tsp. If all of the reviewers on this subject got GREAT results, it was one of two things - either he was wrong on TV and the recipe was correct on the website, or it was just blind luck!!!!! I am so upset with FN, never going to use their recipe site again.Read more

So awesome, and easy enough for me!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am not good in the kitchen at all, I normally am just the helper. But I needed a salad to take for a party and chose this... one. The time for me to do the preparation is certainly longer than shown here, yet it was still easy, low mess, and turned out delicious! Taking a salad seems almost like cheating, so having the homemade candied pecans and dressing just takes it up a level. Will definitely make this again and again! Thanks!Read more

Perfect Fall Salad!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this for the first time tonight, and my whole family and I were blown away by it... I used bagged greens instead of... getting the different types of lettuce- to save a bit of time, even though it doesn't take much time to make it! The dressing was wonderful, and the pears, pecans, and parm cheese complimented each other perfectly- way to go, Tyler!! :-)Read more

You have to try!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Every bite was a different flavor that combined so well. I made a few changes and added Craisins cranberries and substituted... green apples for the pears. I also added walnuts but did not candy them since the sweet cranberries added enough sugar. I excluded the shallots and the dressing was wonderful. Beautiful color and taste. I can't wait to make this at my next holiday gathering. Thanks TylerRead more
